Azerium Member 19 Member For: 13y 3m 16d Posted 27/10/12 06:40 AM Share Posted 27/10/12 06:40 AM Juat curious as to if anyone has this problem.I have a 05 BA xr6 turbo ute, 130 000kms. Well service and looked after. No mods except a box cut from exhaust and a turbo timerIt doesn't stall or run bad on the highway or while driving but on idle it is just a little rough, like maybe 50-150rpm differences. Goes up and down, get worse with the thermo fan on. And when idling and full lock it droppes 2-3 hundred. It's not affecting the car but is really annoying and I want to know if it's just mine or a common thing.And no reply's asking if I have checked spark plugs. Intake or anything like that. Fully serviced including all plugs oil and ignition coils.Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82583-xr6-turbo-idle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekles Member 15 Member For: 12y 8m 5d Posted 01/11/12 09:09 AM Share Posted 01/11/12 09:09 AM my car is doing the exact same thing. except my car sometimes splutters and does weird stuff while in boost and never before 3,000rpm.could this be part of the same problem? The fuel pump has been replaced and has a K n N air filter.Really starting to piss me off, I want my car to just run perfect already. p.s boost gauge installed and running a perfect 6psi, no spikes.Cheers.

rekles Member 15 Member For: 12y 8m 5d Posted 01/11/12 09:25 AM Share Posted 01/11/12 09:25 AM righto. ill be up in brisbane in 2 weeks with the car. might find a ford specialist and get them to go over the car.Quick question, if the valve springs is the problem, can driving the car cause further damage?

IMLOCO Member 397 Member For: 13y 1m 18d Posted 01/11/12 09:28 AM Share Posted 01/11/12 09:28 AM Again mate at a guess, I'd imagine keeping it off boost would be a good idea ... I got plazmaman valve springs supplied & installed for 900 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82583-xr6-turbo-idle/#findComment-1318878 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m Posted 01/11/12 09:53 AM Share Posted 01/11/12 09:53 AM (edited) if it's valve springs it would usually be rough after giving it a hard run or two. But yeh get it checked out asap by a tuner.
